Same about eBay. What I do now to avoid Amazon on eBay is I look for the item and if I see Amazon has the same exact item (including same product photos) for cheaper, I generally know that that seller is only cross-shipping from Amazon and pocketing the difference. Walmart and Target are other options, and other random sellers that I find on Google shopping too. Lots of times Google shopping will show the item is available locally, which is what I prefer. I suppose you could always go direct to China though and buy from AliExpress, Temu, etc.
